The method is based on selective accumulation of endogenous porphyrins in quickly growing tissues (proliferation areas). Cancer is most proliferation area. Proliferation areas are identified by recording laser-fluorescent images.

As known, cells of a malignant tumor share essentially more often normal cells. Thus growth rate of different tumors, as well as speed of duplication various on the structure normal (non tumor) cells is rather various. Hence estimating intensity of fluorescent radiation endogenous (natural) porthyrins it is possible to judge morphology of researched fabrics precisely to a certain extent.
